Q:
This is my sendmail.mc:
# This is a generic configuration file for Linux.
# It has support for local and SMTP mail only. If you want to
# customize it, copy it to a name appropriate for your environment

From the cf cf directory – in Sendmail 8.13.0 – running:
../Build sendmail.cf gets me:
Using M4=/usr/bin/m4
rm -f sendmail.cf
/usr/bin/m4 ../m4/cf.m4 sendmail.mc > sendmail.cf || ( rm -f sendmail.cf
&& exit
1 )

red
NONE:0: /usr/bin/m4: ERROR: EOF in argument list
make: *** [sendmail.cf] Error 1
What is wrong with this file?
A:
m4 expectrss back-tick – tick quoting (`xxx’)
1) There is no closing tick (‘) arounf second argument of
define(`confPRIVACY_FLAGS’,…)
2) Both arguments of define(`confSMTP_LOGIN_MSG’,…) use wrong quoting.
Insted of correct back-tick – tick they use tick – tick quoting
QA:
Thanks,
I fixed the quotes and was able to compile – Now I still have one issues: In
the resulting sendmail.cf, there are the entries:
# class E: names that should be exposed as from this host, even if we
masquerade
# class L: names that should be delivered locally, even if we have a relay
# class M: domains that should be converted to $M
# class N: domains that should not be converted to $M
#CL root
C{E}root
C{E}root
Why is the entry:
C{E}root in the file 2 times?
Because you have EXPOSED_USER(`root’) both in the cf/domain/generic.m4
file that you pull in via DOMAIN(generic) and in the .mc file itself.
But as already noted, it’s no problem – two (or more) such lines have
exactly the same effect as one. (C and F lines accumulate the contents
of the specified class, and a class is a set.)
